Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Preparation Part 2

Sampson has everyone outside where an array of Dofinike weaponry has been laid out in a single line, following the curve of the trench and reaching from one end of the Castle to the other. Vix, Clarence and Sampson break the two hundred or so of us into three groups, each focusing on different weapons. I'm grouped with Pratt in Sampson's section, to the far right side of the lot, where the Kings chased and eventually cornered me. Reid is with Tucker, Able and a few of the other Rogues in Clarence's group, which hugs the Water Pole. Vix and the others are straight across from us, on the left side of the Castle.

We're all crowding around Sampson who's holding a black device over his head with both arms. He projects his voice so everyone can hear him, turning the object in various angles so all can see.
